  1. If you are installing a new lower link, insert the latch release mechanism into the lower link and press until it catches the screw head to hold it in place.

  3. Line up the gas spring arms and the lower link with the hole in the mount base, and insert the hinge pin securing all three components to the mount base.

    You can insert the hinge pin through the mount base and the lower link, and align the gas spring arms one at a time until the hinge pin is fully inserted.

  4. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, reinstall the metallic covers over the ends of the hinge pin.
  5. Pivot the lower link away from the mount base so you can access the latch mechanism.
  6. Place the S-hook on the upper gas spring arm.

  7. Hook one end of the latch spring onto the link attached to the latch inside the lower link.
  8. Using needle-nose pliers, pull the other end of the latch spring away from the lower link and hook it onto the S-hook.

    The latch spring pulls the latch mechanism and locks the lower link into the stowed position.
